Barcelona have officially announced that Brazilian winger Raphinha is suffering from muscle fatigue in his right adductor, which will rule him out of Tuesday’s Copa del Rey clash against Albacete.

The club confirmed that the injury occurred during Barcelona’s 3-1 victory over Elche in La Liga, after the player felt discomfort in his thigh.

Barça stated that Raphinha’s absence is purely precautionary, with his recovery expected to take around one week, under close medical supervision to ensure his full readiness.

The coaching staff is expected to make adjustments to compensate for his temporary absence in the upcoming cup fixture.
